A petrographical and structural study of the rocks around the Peridotite at Engenbræ, Holandsfjord, Northern Norway. Bjergartene omkring peridotiten ved Engenbræen, Holandsfjord.
This study is a continuation of the work carried out by S. Skjeseth and the writer in 1952. The present paper only deals with an extremely well-exposed surface 1 km square in front of the retreating Engenbræ glacier. This surface is built up of a series of para-sediments metamorphosed under amphibol...
